Nearing the end

We are so close to being done!!! I hope any regular readers aren't tired of this saga, at least not any more tired of reading it than I am living it. Dear Kathy (the same Kathy who helped me get the kitchen unloaded after the carpet was installed in here) came over this afternoon and helped me get the basement put back together. It looks better than it ever has. (Dagnabbit... got the place lookin' all purdy and we has ta move!) Before she came over, I managed to get a load of laundry washed and dried, boxed up 2 or 3 more boxes of books, then taped up and labeled the 7 total boxes I had in here. We got those carried upstairs to the storage room over the garage tonight.

For a short while this morning, we thought Brian was going to end up with knee surgery today. One of his knees has been giving him grief for the past week and he finally had it looked at this morning. (There are certain advantages to being hospital personnel.... wait times tend to be much shorter for some things!) The orthopedic guy thought it was a torn miniscus (don't ask me what it is; I'm still not sure), but the MRI showed it wasn't torn yet. He has a bad sprain on one side and the other side looks bad, but not bad enough for surgery. So he is limping around and still planning on cleaning out the garage and taking stuff to storage tomorrow.

The plan is to get everything finished up tomorrow and have an open house Sunday. The weather is supposed to be very nice... near 70 degrees... so lots of people should be out looking. Mostly what we have left to do is get the garage cleaned out, clean and dust blinds, clean kitchen, lots of little things like that.
